Skywalk - Grand Canyon West

Yes, a bit of a drive, but we take our time and stop to stretch often. It's not a race, and your comfort is our #1 priority.

Skywalk @ Grand Canyon West is about 6.5 hours from the Phoenix Valley (about 4.5 hours from Sedona).

Our #1 Question? Easy; Is it worth the drive?

It really comes down to one, important question. Are you looking to see as “much” of the Grand Canyon as you can, or simply see the Grand Canyon?

If you’re looking to simply get a good look at the Canyon, one of our one-day tours is perfect. Or if you’re thinking just the National Park and Antelope Canyon, we have GREAT 2-Day tours.

However, If you’re looking to maximize your time at the Canyon and see it from multiple perspectives, then our 3-Day tour is ideal.

Who typically opts for this tour? Overwhelmingly Guests from overseas. While we do have Guests from the USA; over 90% of those making this choice are from out of Country. Many have a sense of urgency, and know returning later is not a foreseeable option. They want to see as much as they can, before returning home.

What’s it like standing on the Skywalk, and are there other things to see?

The Skywalk is a one of a kind adventure. We’ve had many Guests state that they’ve been on glass platforms high above the ground, but we’ve never had a Guest state that it was ANYTHING like the Skywalk.

There are also attractions to soak in. Multiple overlooks as well as the brand new “zipline adventure”. While the zipline is extra, over 80% of our Guests can’t say no..lol

DAY #1 – We will pick you up at your Hotel/Resort @ 7AM and travel to the Skywalk @ Grand Canyon West, arriving at about 1PM. After spending about 3 to 4 hours at the Skywalk and various overlooks, you’ll spend the night and have dinner in Kingman, AZ.

Day #1 is one of the longer drive days of the 3 day tour. We will stop when you need to stop and know all the best bathrooms along the way. The drive is beautiful, featuring desert landscape, to Ponderosa Pine.

Grand Canyon National Park

Day #2 is LOADED with interesting stops and of course features the Grand Canyon National Park. You’ll depart your hotel at 7AM.

Seligman – Have you seen the animated movie “Cars”? Much of the movie was based on the plight of the little town on Seligman. In the late 1970’s the multi-lane Interstate Highway bypassed the city, turning it into a ghost town overnight. The downtown area takes you back to a simpler time, when Route 66 was at its peak.

Grand Canyon – It’s only about 3 hours (not including the stop in Seligman) to the Grand Canyon National Park; arriving sometime around 12PM (noon).

Our #1 goal is to show off the Grand Canyon, while keeping the day fun and relaxed. Depending on what time of year you go, the crowds can be a bit thick. As an example, in a typical January only 200,000 tourists visit the Park. Compare that to 1.2 million in June…

We are experts at avoiding much of the tourist congestion; getting you to the spots typically not serviced by the larger tour companies. Remember, we DON’T have a set itinerary. We have the ability to adjust throughout the day, creating a one of a kind experience.

Your Guide will chat with you throughout your adventure; asking questions about what interests you most. We LOVE it when our Guests want to do a hike, or explore more remote parts of the Park. Our ONLY goal is that you see and do EXACTLY what you’d like to do. If it’s possible; we’ll make it happen.

How much time at the Grand Canyon? This is where this tour gets even more inviting. Your departure time really comes down to you.

Many of our Guests want to stay for the sunset before departing; while others prefer to head out earlier. We’ve found time of year has a little to do with our Guests decision. In the winter months, the sun sets around 5:30PM. Catching the sunset is easy. In the summer, the sunset can be as late as 8:30PM. Knowing you have about a 2.5 hour drive to your hotel, can make for a very long day. Either way, we’re OK with it. If you need to sleep in a bit the next morning, we’ll make the adjustment.

You’ll be spending the night of Day #2 in Page, AZ. About 2.5 hours from your last stop inside the Grand Canyon.

Antelope Canyon

Day #3 is all about Antelope Canyon. Out of all the destination throughout this 3 day adventure, Antelope Canyon is going to be the most challenging to see. In the last 10 years the amount of visitors has EXPLODED. Often we have to be flexible on reservation times, since everyone on the planet wants to see it…

We’ll take care of your reservations. Antelope Canyon is located on the Navajo Ind

ian Reservation, and they have complete control of the tours inside the canyon.

SIDE NOTE: We blame Microsoft in part for Antelope Canyons popularity. You might remember the image? Microsoft used this image of Antelope Canyon as a background image for Windows for many years. Who could stare at this and not get curious?

AVAILABILITY: There are about 7.5 billion people on the planet, and many want to visit Antelope Canyon between the months of April and October. We will do our best to make your reservation, but if it’s within 2 weeks of your requested tour date, it may prove difficult. If we have issues, we’ll keep you apprised.

Upper Antelope Canyon – The upper canyon is flat, and requires no climbing. Open air jeeps will take you out to the start of the walking tour, and tour times are about 1 hour.

Lower Antelope Canyon – The lower canyon is not flat and requires a little climbing. In order to move through the canyon, you’ll be asked to climb ladders, stairs and step-ups. Nothing is too strenuous, but if anyone in your group has any physical challenges, you’re better off choosing Upper Antelope Canyon.

Horseshoe Bend – Parking fee based on the size of your group.

Depending on when you’re able to secure your reservation in Antelope Canyon, we’ll see Horseshoe Bend. There’s only a small fee to see the Canyon, but it does require an easy 2 mile hike (round trip). If you’re in moderate physical shape, you shouldn’t have any issues. There are plenty of places to stop, sit, drink some water and relax.

Drive Home: It’s a bit of a drive back to the Phoenix area. About 5 hours. Typically we try to arrange your Antelope Canyon tour around 1PM (give or take a hour), so you’ll be headed back around 3PM, arriving around 8PM.

Mercedes Maybach S600 (Seats 3) - $3295.00

Mercedes Maybach S600 (Seats 3) - $3295.00

OUR EXCLUSIVE LUXURY OPTION, Mercedes Maybach S600. Reclining Rear Seats – Supportive Leg Rests – Power Massage Modes – The miles and hours slip by in our Mercedes Maybach, transforming your time on the road into part of the adventure.

Our Guests asked for a ultra-luxury option, and we didn’t hesitate to act.

SIDE NOTE: Veterans in the transportation industry shook their heads and thought we were fools for investing this much money into a 3 passenger vehicle. You won’t find this option anywhere else in Arizona. To every other tour company, it simply didn’t make financial sense. To us, we didn’t see any other option.

Either you’re 100% committed to the comfort of your Guests, or you’re not. Every vehicle in our fleet is purchased with our Guests comfort in mind, first. Purchasing our Mercedes Maybach simply fits what we do best, premium Grand Canyon tours.

We’ve combined our award winning ground tour “Premium Package” with a private charter flight over the Grand Canyon on the way back to the Phoenix Area. You won’t find it anywhere else. We’ve created a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Ground Tour of the Grand Canyon

Private charter flight over the Grand Canyon and a flight back to Phoenix.

TRIP HOME: Once finished with your ground tour, your Guide will take you to the Grand Canyon airport, where you’ll board your PRIVATE CHARTER. After liftoff, your pilot will spend 30 minutes flying over the Grand Canyon before turning South for Home.

Your flight is about 1:45 minutes, including your 30 minute flight tour. If you drove? About 4 hours with stops.

Once arriving at the airport, your private transportation will be waiting to take you to your resort.

Helicopter Tour Option

Our Approach – Todd setout to perfectly blend the ground tour with the helicopter adventure, making BOTH BETTER.

We’ve discovered that by seeing the remote overlooks FIRST (East end of the National Park), it elevates your helicopter flight to yet another level. Now when your Pilot points out a landmark below, we’ve already seen it from the ground.

We actually modify your ground tour to heighten your helicopter tour experience. Rather than go into the Park through the busy South entrance, we’ll swing around the East entrance. Starting at the East entrance allows us to start with the remote overlooks, ending at the Grand Canyon airport.

The Other Guys – The odds are someone in your mixed group isn’t doing the helicopter tour, tossing a wrench in everyone’s day. You’ll be dropped off at the airport, while the rest go into the park. Both groups end up waiting, wasting valuable time.

Sunset and Stargazing Option

Will appear as option @ checkout

The National Park Service has announced that the Grand Canyon National Park has officially received its International Dark Sky Park certification.

Departure times VARY throughout the year. We will contact you by email with your actual departure time.

While there are several places to take in the dark, glowing sky, we focus on the more remote overlooks. Typically, they’re less crowded.

While the entire Park is “Dark Sky” certified, we’ve found that the further away from the historic village, the better. Many of the remote overlooks don’t have a light bulb within 20 miles. However, it’s incredible the intense glow that can emanate from a cell phone…

The remote overlooks offer seclusion, which is perfect for stargazing.

The Other Guys – Simply, most tour companies don’t offer a tour after dark. Also, the mixed group tours depend on “seat volume”. Simply, filling seats. While AMAZING, most visitors want to go during the day.
